I had to mow yards and save my money to buy my first car. I treated the car with respect because I had to WORK for it. kids today get the keys to a new Jaguar free gratis.

There would be less need since nothing is absolute and they have their bad people too.
Ya think? People have too much of an entitlement mentality these days. Not just the rich kids with the BMW you are talking about. It goes all the way from rich to poor.
When you work for it, you don't screw up as much because you know how hard it is to come by. People these days give their kids whatever they can. Like I said, the rich give BMWs the poor give to their limit and some. Don't think that only the rich kids are ill disciplined because of a lack of consequences. That is the mess we are in today.
